Electrical- 25 Jan 2021
Brett replaced light fittings throughout our son's flat plus resiting and replacing several light switches. He explained the various options very clearly and did a fantastic neat job. On the strength of that we asked him to replace lights in our own kitchen and recommended him to a friend. His advice saved us money and he is such a nice guy to deal with. We would thoroughly recommend Brett to anyone.

Callum did an excellent job. When he came to give an estimate for the job he was able to give me good knowledgeable advice on what was needed. He was friendly and approachable. I felt very comfortable letting him into my house. He arrived on time. He completed the job efficiently and quickly. He tidied everything up and left the room clean and tidy. Would definitely use him again.

Painting & Decorating- 11 Sep 2015
Toms a nice fella, but his workmanship is less than impressive. for example he doesn't remove or even loosen door handles, but simply masks them off. Several of our handles now have paint round them or when the tape has been removed, some paint has come off the doors too. It's the same with light switches - Tom doesn't bother to loosen them. But my biggest problem with Tom is he takes no responsibility for when things go wrong choosing to blame the plaster, the wallpaper, the mural, the paste etc. As a businessman I know that your paid on the end result, but Tom's attitude is that he's put in the hours so should be paid regardless. We had 2 papers and a mural hung -all ended up unsuccessful, albeit one that we just didn't like the look of - so that one wasn't Toms fault. The other paper had 1mm gaps bewteen the seama and brown marks up them too which I assume is from the paste (Tom said it was rubbish paper and the plaster sucking the paste in too quick). The Mural was poorly seam matched & only stuck in places. Tom laid the blame with hanging the paper horizontally whilst he'd said it should be vertical (even tho the image would be 90 degrees out). There's not enough room here for me to describe ,my disappointment with the final outcome, but what sums up Tom's attitude perfectly was, when he was peeling off the ill fated mural and it was bringing bits of paint and plaster with it, he commented to my wife "look at what it's doing!" - Obviously nothing to do with Tom!!

Florian did a great job and was able to come and carry out the paint work in short notice! The finishing was immaculate and he was much faster than I thought, I actually regret not having him paint some more of my walls! I would highly recommend his services and plan to use him for any future paint jobs for my Gateshead property :)

FAQ: Common questions about Houghton Le Spring painting and decorating services

How long does a typical painting and decorating project take in Houghton Le Spring?

Project length varies with the size and nature of the work. A single room might take a few days, while larger jobs like whole-house decorating or detailed woodwork can take several weeks. Factors like surface preparation, drying times, and weather conditions for exterior work also affect the schedule.

What kind of paint or finishes are suitable for Houghton Le Spring homes?

In Houghton Le Spring, common choices include matte and eggshell finishes for interiors due to their elegant look and ease of touch-ups. For exterior surfaces, weather-resistant paints that cope with the local climate, such as moisture and temperature changes, are essential for lasting protection.

How do decorators prepare surfaces in older or period homes in Houghton Le Spring?

Surface preparation in Houghton Le Spring may involve cleaning, filling cracks, sanding, and sometimes treating issues like dampness. Proper prep is key to paint adhesion and finish durability, especially in homes with plaster, lath walls, or older wood.

Will painters and decorators in Houghton Le Spring help with colour selection or test samples?

Many decorators offer guidance on colour choices based on lighting and room use and can provide sample swatches or test patches to help you visualise the final look before commitment.
